Mike Lechty came home the winner in the ISMA Super-Modified feature at Stafford Motor Speedway.(Stafford Speedway)

On Saturday night, June 29, the 10th annual CARQUEST Super Saturday program was held at Stafford Motor Speedway. Mike Lichty won the 50-lap ISMA Super-Modified feature while Dan Meservey, Jr. won the 25-lap Pro-4 Modified feature.

Lichty got a good run in the outside groove, taking the lead at the start of the fifty lapper. Lou Cicconi, who started in ninth position, blistered his way to the front, moving into second position in lap two. Polesitter Dan Bowes was third, with Rob Summers fourth and Tim Ice fifth. The caution came out with only two laps completed due to debris on the backstretch.

Back under green, Cicconi smoked past Lichty taking the lead. Bowes was third, with Summers fourth, and Chris Perley got by Ice to move into fifth place. Perley made a move to get by Summers for third in the sixth lap, but he had a lot of distance to close down to Lichty and Cicconi at the front of the field. The caution came out and erased Cicconi's large lead with fifteen laps complete for Justin Belfiore, who came to a stop in turn four.

Cicconi took the lead on the restart, but Lichty was all over the back of Cicconi's car. Lichty made the pass for the lead on lap seventeen with Perley right behind the lead duo in third place. Summers was in fourth, just ahead of Ice, who was back up to fifth place. Just as Cicconi had pulled away from Lichty on the previous green flag run, Lichty pulled away from Cicconi and Perley once he was out front. Lichty deftly navigated lapped traffic and didn't lose any time as he made his way through the back markers.

With 20 laps to go, Lichty had built his lead up to over a full straightaway on Cicconi and Perley. Summers continued to run in fourth place with Tim Jedrzejek in fifth. Lichty's big lead was erased by the caution flag, which flew with thirty-two laps complete for Jeff Locke, who spun in turn four.

Lichty got a dazzling restart and immediately opened up a gap over Perley, who worked his way by Cicconi and into second. Jedrzejek was fourth with Mark Sammut behind him in fifth. Lichty led the field to the checkered flag in dominating fashion to pick up his second consecutive ISMA Supermodified victory at Stafford Speedway. Perley finished second, with Cicconi, Sammut, and Jederzjek rounding out the top five.

In the 25-lap Pro-4 Modified feature, Norm Wrenn took the early lead ahead of Phil Lausier. Dan Meservey, Jr. who started the race from seventh position, was in charge during the early laps, moving into third on the first lap and overtaking Lausier for second on lap two. Meservey continued his charge on lap three as he took the lead from Wrenn. Easton's Rob Richardi, Jr. spun in turn two to bring the caution out with four laps complete.

Wrenn took the lead from Meservey on the restart with Meservey slotting into second. Dan Meservey, Sr. was third, with Derek Robbie fourth and Lausier in fifth. Wrenn held the lead until lap eight when Meservey, Jr. went back to the front. Richardi charged back through the field after his spin, and he cracked into the top five on lap ten, moving into fourth on lap fourteen with a pass on Lausier.

Richardi continued to move up as he took third from Meservey, Sr. while Meservey, Jr. and Wrenn continued to hold the top two spots. The top five ran in line until the caution came out with twenty-two laps complete as Lausier and Richardi spun in turn two. Both cars retired from the race.

Back under green, Meservey, Jr. powered into the lead with Wrenn behind him. Robin Berghman was now in third, with Meservey, Sr. and Norm Wrenn, III behind her. The caution came out again with twenty-four laps completed for Joe Doucette who came to a stop in turn three.

Meservey, Jr. took the lead on the green and white checkered restart and led Wrenn back to the black and white to pick up the victory. Berghman finished third, with Wrenn, III and Dan Fresh rounding out the top five.
